Life is filled with problems to be solved and tensions to be managed. Sometimes it helps to know which is which. Andy Stanley
Suffering For Good Beats the Punishment For Doing Bad
The punishment later will far outweigh the present reward for doing evil. When someone is cheating or doing something unethical it eventually backfires on them.

Live a Good Life
If you want an A+ life, don’t hurt others with your words, but instead lift them up. And always make amends no matter what.

God delights in pouring his favor on obedient risk takers. Bill Hybels
I Didn’t Need to Invent This God
The only one whose explanation fits everything; all other philosophies and theologies have inconsistencies and loopholes. All other systems break down under some level of pressure. But this God gives me something I can build my one and only life on, then a family, and then a business.

There is only one commodity that God truly treasures—people. It’s always only ever been about people. Do I treasure what God treasures? Am I leading AND loving my team well? Bill Hybels

Guard Your Heart
The spiritual heart is where life comes from. If we don’t like the course we’re on, we need a change of heart. If we don’t guard our hearts, we’ll not likely fulfill our dreams.

Face to Face
I don’t get many opportunities to visit the ocean. It’s where I have checked in with God even before I knew God. It’s where I’ve reflect back on where I’ve been and dreamed about where I want to go.
Busted!
Wrong thinking produces wrong believing.

The love of Christ comes from simple people who love simple people. Never be fooled by the spiritual leader who knows a lot but doesn’t love a lot. Andy Stanley
Pressure Testing
Someone cuts me with harsh words. Someone cheats me. Someone takes something from me. Do I have what it takes to stand the test?
Authenticity
There was a time in my career when I lost my authenticity. I focused on techniques and formulas instead of being real. My results dropped. My frustration was high and I felt fake. For a little while I even wore a suit and tie to work. (This is totally not me!)
You’re Up
Leadership is being on a stage. Where everyone sees you. Going in first.
People are looking to you. They’re expecting you to have the next thing thought out. Looking to you to set the example, to say something brilliant and wise. What example will you set? There isn’t room for stage fright or boring, incomplete, or stuttering remarks.
